Money for major construction projects at the Pine Bluff Arsenal, Little Rock Air Force Base and Warren is
included in a military construction bill approved yesterday by
Congress.
Several million dollars for an upgrade of a white-phosphorous
munitions production facility at the arsenal are included in the 9.3 billion dollar measure.
At Little Rock Air Force Base, 3.6 million would
be spent for new facilities for training crews and maintenance
personnel on the C-130J. That`s the latest version of the
Air Force`s workhorse transport aircraft.
Another project included in the bill would give the Arkansas Air
National Guard 6.2 million for for equipment that
will allow airmen to analyze photographs from unmanned spy
aircraft, or drones.
At Warren, a new National Guard armory is to be built with
3.6 million.
